Synopsis

Statistics for Psychology: International Edition, 4/e

Introduction to Research Methods in Psychology, 1/e

Introduction to Research Methods in Psychology is specifically written for psychology students approaching research for the first time.  The key theoretical and conceptual issues are discussed in detail alongside the practicalities of doing research.
